Only occasionally would my proposal affect behavior. I'm rather confused by what you _do_ mean. Do are you saying you think that: (1) M-SPC should be rebound to something like "canonicalize-space" (2) "canonicalize-space" should insert two spaces if following a period and sentence-end-double-space is non-nil, otherwise it should insert a single space. ? If so, it certainly shouldn't be bound to M-SPC, as that would interfere with current users' muscle memory. But if you mean something else, please describe. Thanks, -Miles -- Advice, n.
